Western love songs to listen to when you've had a fight with your lover: World classics and popular tracks (61–70)
Yule Shoot your Eye OutFall Out Boy
It’s an unusual breakup song with a Christmas theme.
While many Fall Out Boy tracks deal with identity or feature energetic lyrics, this song is quite rare for them in both melody and lyrics.
Being an acoustic track, it’s perfect to listen to on a frustrating night before going to sleep.
BACK UP GIRLLillix
They’re a cool band that blends the melancholy and strength typical of a girls’ rock group.
While many of Lillix’s songs have powerful, assertive lyrics, this track is strikingly rock in a different way because it honestly expresses sadness and pain.
Another highlight is that the two vocalists are beautiful sisters.
RudeMAGIC
It’s by a Canadian reggae-pop band, and the song became a hit in Japan under the Japanese title “Soredemo Boku wa Kekkon Suru” (“I’m Getting Married Anyway”), even reaching number one on the US and UK charts.
The lyrics are so funny you can’t help but laugh: even though her father won’t accept their marriage, he refuses to give up.
Socially speaking, it’s basically a breakup, but it’s so overly positive that it’s hilarious—perfect for cheering you up after a fight when you’re feeling down.
EverywhereMichelle Branch
It’s Michelle Branch’s debut single, and despite being her first, it became a hit worldwide.
Listening to this song makes me feel like I can’t keep brooding, and since the lyrics are about the importance of people, it’s a perfect track for when you’ve had a fight with your partner.
Mr. BrightsideThe Killers
It uses unique lyrics to express the feeling of getting jealous when you see the person you like getting along with someone else, and the track itself has a slightly oldies-style production that makes it very chic.
I highly recommend this song for anyone who wants to rekindle their feelings for their lover.
Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart) ft. Shawn MendesThe Vamps
These lyrics are about a breakup caused by the singer’s own mistake (presumably cheating), yet if you listen to just the music, it feels so tropical and summery that you wouldn’t think it’s a heartbreak song—it’s simply a good track.
But when you pay close attention to the lyrics, it really is about a breakup, and the mismatch with the music creates such a gap that it makes you wonder, “Are they even really remorseful?!” It’s amusing, and it might even help you forget you’re in a fight.
When You Were YoungThe Killers
The synthesizer melody makes the song incredibly catchy, and with Brydon’s slightly wistful vocals, it has a fascinating sense of contrast.
It has a humidity you wouldn’t expect from an American band, and they’re also one of the most popular American bands in the UK.
The music video is shot like an old film, with scenes like a wedding, giving it a very stylish feel.
